day after the funeral 
small widow next door

A Great Dane kind, giving, and mellow
is Idaho’s most saintly fellow
Whenever he’s near
folks clap, chant and cheer:
You’re the pride of all Pocatello!...

A woman who could touch her toes
Always knew which way the wind blows
For when she bent over
A great Dane named Rover
Proved farting is best wearing clothes...

A much-celebrated psychic Great Dane
Has his fans waltzing down memory lane
A dandy clairvoyant
And often flamboyant
Folks greet friends who no longer remain

he pulled a Great Dane out of a hat.
One night the dog had the urge
he sprinkled the crowd with a surge.
Whizdo escaped town and won't be back....

A brave, playful, and loyal Great Dane
lives on golden wheat fields in central Ukraine
With happy farm kids around
no better life can be found
unless Putin does something insane...

A high-strung duck on a ranch up in Maine
is best pals with a wistful Great Dane
One goes quack! Quack! Quack!
while the other lays back
Their friendship is hard to is hard to explain

Could Be Great Dane A Crane or My Cane

Could be great Dane a crane and my cane,
Which surely with me will always remain;
Great weather;
Still together,
Until they drastically do drive me insane.

Ashes came to visit on Halloween
Her hazel eyes in moonlight had a sheen
She clung onto my window pane
Meowing, turned into a Great Dane
And barked at me through the window screen.

That lady from the town of Devises
Yes the one with two different sizes
A Great Dane and a Yorky
Honest it's no porky
Twas the big one that won all the prizes

Wayne a Great Dane, 
   from a princely court 
      was playing in the courtyard. 
         He rolled and fell short 
            in the castle moat.

A good sport 
   he was. With laughter roar 
      from the royal court; 
         out his nose water he snorted.

Magic Tragic David Blaine 
Goodwill, gallant, Grade A G.I. Jane
Gorgeous, guarding, germane, Great Dane
Bubba borrowed Brad’s baseball bat 
Hit him harshly hard in the head  
Insane in the brain 
Like being high on sugar cane 
To dilute the pain 
Hey, it may sound lame 
But who’s to blame 
Not everyone’s the same...

An old Great Dane may be timid and shy

While a Chihuahua’s bite can make you cry

Friends come in all sizes

And there are surprises 

When size does not ability imply



*Inspired by Mark Twain's quote: “It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.”
Written May 3, 2015 for John Freeman’s “Dumb and Dumber” contest...

We have had chewing puppies before we got Buddy.
But this is the first time we have had a dog with indestructible teeth.
Buddy can chew through tin cans.
He chews electrical cords as if they were popcorn.
Our vacuum cleaner cord is in fifty-six pieces now.
We have raised over nineteen dogs.
Buddy is the first Great Dane mixed puppy we have ever had.
I envy him his teeth....

Something as small as a Chihuahua or a Pomeranian,
or as large as a Mastiff or Great Dane,
is taxonomically classified as “Canis familiaris”.
This domesticated species is man’s companion.
Dogs are found anywhere between Sydney and Ft. Wayne.
They have an ages-old history that is glorious.
Whether they are from a pedigree, or a mixed breed,
man’s best friend is a friend indeed.

Soul Of A Cat, Life Of A Dog
The Great Dane is really very tame
They have the reputation for being 
scary and clumsy, that’s their fame.

But they are very quiet 
and the most graceful dog, 
their reputation is a shame.

They are so clever, and cautious that they 
should have the house cat’s fluffy mane.
Because they already have their kitty cat soul,
Why not play the rest of their feline game?...

Scooby had a thing for homemade ice cream
Choc'late, Strawberry, Orange Sherbet Dream
   He'd down tub after tub
   Like a hungry bear cub
For dessert he'd feast on freshly whipped cream

Why "Sharp Gate"? 

Yesterday, my postman asked the very question you are asking me now.  Well, I named my house after the famous gate in Vilnius.  It might make a local burgler think twice.  After all, a sharp gate will give the scoundrel a nasty wound.  

The postman's face! I should have had a camera.


***

sharp gate and a growl

then jaws on gasping thief

great dane well done

My husband knew I would break down and clean something.
Because company is coming tomorrow, for my birthday. 
I am coughing, spitting and snarling up Great Dane mix puppy hair.
I made the mistake of starting to clean the living room. 

Half way through, it is impossible to stop.
The puppy in question is following me around, concerned, 
hoping something tasty will fall out of my mouth.
Welcome to my world....

I bought a dog last September and I've loved him eversince.
He is a Great Dane and his name is Prince.
When I bought him, he was only six weeks old.
He's a sweet dog who is also sassy and bold.

He cost 400 bucks but to me he's worth 400 Grand.
When I pet my big baby, I know that I'm a lucky man.
Every time I see his fawn coat, it makes me feel glad.
He's a beautiful animal and the best dog I've ever had....

Killer whales but do they actually kill?
Killer sharks; I have seen Jaws. I am a believer.
Killer bees. I do not want to know.

Killer cats? I can picture them now. Eating the heads off
Like they do with mice and voles.
Killer dogs? 
Are you kidding?
Mine is sitting in my lap.
A Great Dane who outweighs me.
The only way he would kill someone would be if he rolled over on them,
Wanting them to lollygag and play....

She  runs  to gain pace alongside her Great Dane.  

Excitement flares to the sounds  of the rain.

Through puddles  and grass,  in vain

slipping, sliding, endless grass and mud stains.

A little angel full of sassy curls color of grain,

runs like the wind blows, 

chasing clear blue skies and mobile rainbows.

My auntie purchased a great dane,
That mutt really drives her insane
When it does a poop,
It won’t fit the scoop,
Her husband’s now hired a crane 

They also have got a Shih Tzu
It constantly poops in her shoe
She abhors the critter
Cos it’s not a quitter
Their house is just littered with pooh
 
My Saluki’s a naughty pet
Last Monday he peed on the vet
Who was a trainee
And very brainy
I’m sorry his trousers got wet!
